Wear A Sleeveless Vest Now & Forever

Wear A Sleeveless Vest Now & Forever

We are officially revising our attitude re: the sleeveless vest. What once felt a little ‘90s and totally impractical suddenly feels fresh, new, and of the moment. Trust us, with the right additions and accessories — most of which you probably already own — this baby can easily become the most versatile item in your wardrobe.

At The Office
When it comes to workwear, we’re all about finding the perfect balance between smart and chic. Sure, you want to express yourself and show off that oh-so-fashionable side, but it’s also important to take yourself seriously so that your co-workers will do the same. In this case, a sleeveless vest is exactly what you’re looking for – the perfect way to smarten up nearly any outfit without resorting to that over worn boyfriend blazer – again. We’re pairing ours with a printed pencil skirt, a navy silk blouse, black-and-white pointed-toe court shoes, and earrings that offer just the right amount of glint.

After-Work Drinks
Cocktail hour…finally! Celebrate what we’ll assume is your first drink of the evening by mastering the art of colourblocking. Nod to the ‘90s whilst balancing the weight of your waistcoat with a wispy neon-yellow slip dress. Add a minimalist teal leather clutch and biscuit-coloured mid-heel sandals to round it all out.

Sunday Brunch
When you’re out for brunch, keep it casual without losing all of your chic. The sleeveless vest adds a polished flare to your look, so complement that with a polka-dot blouse, leather flats, and a chic envelope bag. Denim cut-offs provide a laid-backbit of balance – it is the weekend, after all.
